Chelsea will find out soon about their transfer ban, reveals Frank Lampard

The Blues appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport over their transfer ban and have challenged the verdict given by FIFA’s disciplinary and appeal committees. The club appealed to FIFA and the case was heard again in April but their transfer ban stood with FIFA revealing that the club had committed 150 breaches of regulations including breaching “article 19 of its regulations on the status and transfer of players (RSTP), which concerns the protection of minors.”

However, the Blues filed another appeal with the Court of Arbitration for Sport in November and Frank Lampard has revealed that the decision by the Blues will know their decision soon. In his pre-match press conference, Lampard also admitted that he hadn’t heard anything more but everything will become clear within days with the club hoping that they can spend on new additions.

"Very soon, I believe. Days, I think. I haven't heard any more, so I would wait and reserve judgement [on Chelsea's plans for January] until we get the judgement and see where we want to go from there,” said Lampard reported the BBC.
